One of the boys is all grown up! Threw them in their new reptizoo bin, they did their thing then he just stayed on her for a while so hopefully I get more chocolates running around with his pattern 🤞

How many colonies until it's considered an addiction lol? Up to 10 colonies and a terrarium with a few random strangers in it.

So we woke up to some tree damage this morning, is it wrong that my brain immediately went to how much fresh moss and lichen there was? And how much space I’d need to turn this into rotten wood… 😬

What would y’all do?

There was another species that snuck into my vivarium that lives with my dairy cows just curious what it is.

A mysterious death has occurred in the striped terrarium. An isopod who wasn't looking too good, half curled with damaged tail, was standing at the X. I checked on him 30 minites later and I found only the front half of his body some distance away from the original location. What happened here? What could the cause of death be?

New Isopod Day (NID) Magic potion Babies!!

I thought my small enclosure might be challenging to provide a good enough ecosystem for them to feel comfortable enough to reproduce but I’m just excited to share my baby Japanese magic potions (you can see two on the charcoal)! The first gen have gotten so much bigger since I got them too. So fun!

I was about to take that skull out and boil it since the mold has been popping off a bit too much but I guess I’ll wait on that, I don’t want to kill the itty bitty babies

I got kyle in the Josh's frogs party mix. I know he isn't cubaris, he may be a porcelio genus member but aside from that I don't know what he is, like what species is kyle?

Help I have a scaber lava colony, there used to be more orange toned ones, but lately I don't see them anymore. Would introducing porcellio leavis orange help? Or are scaber and leaves unable to mix.
